Question

which is most common form of democracy? why is this form of democracy nessesary

Answer 1

Representative democracy is the most common form of democracy because it provides the citizens with right to vote and chose their representatives. Democracy is also an important factor of controlling government power and prevents the people who hold power abusing it and using it for their own gain rather than for the people’s. This is done in a democratic state by having elections and holding those in power accountable for what they have done. Elections do not only help to hold a government accountable but also they let the people participate and have their say in the political process. The people in a democratic system will be able to influence government decisions by joining political parties, joining pressure groups, taking part in protests and many other ways.            There are some countries in the world where democracy has not been embraced possibly due to corrupt governments or even religious beliefs stop everybody in society having liberty and freedom to express their thoughts. In USA and much of Europe and many economically developed countries democracy has established itself, however in some Islamic states the people’s lives are governed by the teachings of Muhammad and the Koran and the governments of the countries see it as their duty to oversee people’s principles of the Koran. There are some people who think that democracy can slow down decision making possibly when a quick decision needs to be made. Overall I feel that democracy is an extremely important part of political systems in the modern age and it gives people the ability to participate and to be free. Whether direct or representative democracy is used in a government it still gives people these opportunities and makes the system fair for everybody
